[APP]GenieWidget.apk from the Galaxy Nexus

Hello Everyone!
As you may or may not know, the Galaxy S3 doesn't have the News & Weather widget in-built like it did on the SGS2 so lets change that shall we?
Read the instructions below and you should have the news & weather widget back up and running on this awesome device!
What You Need:
Rooted Device
Root Explorer (Or ES File Explorer)
Room on your SD Card
Instructions:
-Download the GenieWidget.apk from the attachments below
-Put GenieWidget.apk onto your internal SD Card (Or external, doesn't really matter)
-Open Root Explorer and navigate to where you put GenieWidget
-Highlight it and select copy
-Navigate to /system/app/
-Paste
-Reboot
-It will be there in the widgets!
Screenshot to prove it works:

Anyone notice that the weather detail view crashes when "force GPU rendering" is turned on in developer settings?

@OP: Thanks a lot for this useful app, Iv'e been missing during my review of the SGS3 on my portal.
Is there any chance you can port it over to non-root user? And if not, please specify why that would not be possible (need it for my article).
Thank you very much in advance and for your contribution to the Android society and other users as myself

thanks a lot it's look great

It's not in the OP but did you remember to fix permissions to rw-r-r? At least I thought you had to do this for any app you put into the /system/app folder. I always do and this works fine on my EVO LTE.

I can confirm this works on my Rezound.

here is a transparent version of it:

GenieWidget fully themed for me.
Download from here:

Hum, i've just download and installed the htcmania's version (last post from Armin van buuren) and it's working in a stock and un-rooted galaxy s3.
Thanks

Just installed this on my Skyrocket using the Dragon stripped rom - worked great!

Are there different versions (there was one that came with TeamDRH's ICS for the gtablet, but it seems to be an older version)?
I tried to replace the one that was already there, but it won't let me change the permissions.

Not works on omega 9.0. Put the file in system/app, fixed permission and rebooted, but no widget.....
Edit: found, it was called "news and meteo", i was searching for Geniewidget......:-D

Won't install on Razr. Why does it need root?

Inverted Gmail 4.5 (NEW)

http://db.tt/6yfewp2s
Clear data and rename or remove old Gmail then move into sytem/app and change permissions rw r r. You might have to rename or remove the corresponding odex file too as the written odex file is incompatible with a modified version. That should stop the Gmail is not responding message. or if on custom rom you should have know problem

[APP] AOSP Browser 4.3 (root required)

Salut,
for all of you, who don't like Chrome, here is the original AOSP Browser 4.3 with the optional BookmarkSync if you like.
I modded the Browser, so that the search-bug is gone. All AOSPs had weird strings for "search on page", I added the english and german resource strings and ID.
Just move the Browser.apk to /system/app and set the permissions to rw-r--r--
If you like, you may also install ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk (same way as above), so that your bookmarks from your Google account are synced, but this is optional.
If you encounter a Force Close after starting, delete or rename BrowserProviderProxy.apk and BrowserProviderProxy.odex (if you don't have a deodexed ROM) and reboot, then it should work.
Enjoy!
PS: This is Adobe Flash "ready" - if you want Flash, you need to install Flash for sure, but the Browser is capable of using it
[edit]
I tried several Flash versions, all of them had issues, but the old one 11.1.115.11 works fine for me:

Wow that's not happening on my phone.
Are the permissions set correctly? rw- r-- r-- (644)?
Have you installed the SyncAdapter too?
If not, do it and try again.
If then again an error occurs, try it with freezing BrowserProxyProvider.apk, this should help as some users report in another thread.
[edit]
One idea: try with deleting app and cache data in settings -> apps -> Browser and/or freeze Chrome.

Fixed just done a search on here and found out that I needed to rename BrowserProviderProxy.apk just added a 1 on the extention so it looks like BrowserProviderProxy.apk1
reboot and all is working.
Enabled the browser sync under my google account and now see all my bookmarks.
Thanks for all your help sorted.

Glad you got it.
Weird is, I didn't need to rename or delete anything, BrowserProxyProvider is just there... Will put this in the OP anyway, thanks for your feedback!

I added the link to a working Flash version in OP, official from Macromedia.

Try flashing this in CWM: http://www26.zippyshare.com/v/84435358/file.html
Alternatively, there is AOSP Browser Installer and Android Browser on Google Play.

Works well. The only thing I've encountered is doubles. When you open the app, most of the choices are double.

@ prboy1969... I just re-installed it in my phone and is working fine...attached is a screenshot. If someone else that has done it and is getting the same problem, please advice.
The APK was re-uploaded again...just in case it was a bad upload... I will look into it some more!

Skidiver I'm thinking it may just be an issue with my setup . I downloaded the new upload. Still getting the same result. But as I mentioned before. It's not a big deal to me. The FONTs apk still works properly. No issues choosing, or changing fonts. It's really nice having so many choices. So the doubles thing is minor to me.

Nevermind........ TY
